Server

Open access in UFW firewall port 514 tcp/udp:
ufw allow from 192.168.122.0/27 port 514

mkdir /var/log/rsyslog
chown root:adm /var/log/rsyslog

The following code in 90-rsyslog.conf should be placed before the “*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/syslog” entry which is done using directive $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf in /etc/rsyslog.conf.
Be sure you replace server-name below with the name of your central logging server.

/etc/rsyslog.d/90-rsyslog.conf

# provides UDP syslog reception
$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerRun 514

# provides TCP syslog reception
$ModLoad imtcp
$InputTCPServerRun 514

# log each machine to own rsyslog directory
$template TmplAuth, "/var/log/rsyslog/%HOSTNAME%/%PROGRAMNAME%.log"
$template TmplMsg, "/var/log/rsyslog/%HOSTNAME%/%PROGRAMNAME%.log"
  authpriv.*   ?TmplAuth
  *.info,mail.none,authpriv.none,cron.none   ?TmplMsg

if ($hostname != 'server-name') then TmplAuth
if ($hostname != 'server-name') then TmplMsg
